00:02 CASE, what's the problem? 00:03 Too waterlogged. Let it drain . 00:06 Goddamn it! 00:08 - I told you to leave me! Why didn't you? - And I told you to get your ass back here ! 00:13 - One of us was thinking about the mission! - You were thinking about getting home. 00:19 I was trying to do the right thing ! 00:22 Can you tell that to Doyle? 00:26 CASE, how much time? -Forty-five to an hour. 00:30 The stuff of life, huh? 00:32 What's this gonna cost us , Brand? 00:35 A lot. Decades. 00:44 What happened to Miller? 00:46 Judging by the wreckage, she was... 00:49 ... broken up by a wave soon after impact. 00:51 How's the wreckage stayed together after all these years, huh? 00:56 Because of the time slippage. 00:59 On this planet's time, she just landed hours ago. 01:04 She probably just died minutes ago. 01:07 The data Doyle received was just the initial status echoing endlessly . 01:11 Oh, we are not prepared for this. 01:16 You eggheads have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop. 01:19 Well, we got this far on our brains. Farther than any human in history. 01:23 Well, not far enough! 01:25 And now we're stuck here till there won't be anyone left on Earth to save. 01:31 I'm counting every minute, same as you, Cooper. 01:39 Is there any possibility... 01:41 ...some kind of a way we can maybe all jump in a black hole? 01:44 Gain back the years? 01:47 Don't shake your head at me. 01:48 Time is relative, okay? 01:51 It can stretch and it can squeeze, but... 01:54 ...it can't run backwards . lt just can't. 01:56 The only thing that can move across dimensions , like time, is gravity. 02:04 Okay. 02:07 The beings that led us here, they communicate... 02:11 ...through gravity, right? - Yes. 02:13 Could they be talking to us from the future? 02:16 - Maybe. - Okay. If they can... 02:19 "They" are beings of five dimensions. 02:23 To them, time might be another physical dimension . 02:27 To them... 02:28 ...the past might be a canyon that they can climb into and the future... 02:33 ...a mountain they can climb up. But to us, it's not, okay? 02:37 Look, Cooper, I screwed up. I'm sorry. 02:41 But you knew about relativity. 02:43 Oh. 02:46 Brand... 02:52 ...my daughter was 10 years old. 02:55 I couldn't teach her Einstein's theories before I left. 02:58 Couldn't you have told her you were going to save the world? 03:02 No. 03:04 When you become a parent , one thing becomes really clear. 03:10 And that is that you want to make sure your children feel safe . 03:14 And it rules out telling a 10-year-old that the world is ending. 03:20 cooper? 03:26 - How long for the engines, CASE? - A minute or two. 03:28 We don't have it. Helmets on! 03:34 Brand, co-pilot, you're up. 03:36 CASE, blow the cabin oxygen through the main thrusters! 03:39 - We're gonna spark it. -Roger that. 03:41 - Locked. - Depressurizing. 03:48 Engines up!

Golden lines A great line in its own right — why and how to use it “...it can't run backwards. lt just can't.”
Why it's great
It treats honesty as a calibrated setting rather than an absolute virtue.
Use it yourself
Speed is not always the safest choice.
